Child Maintenance Options provide free and impartial information and support to help separated parents make decisions about their child maintenance arrangements. For parents who are unable to make a family-based arrangement the government has introduced a new statutory Child Maintenance Service, which will bring speedier processing of applications, simpler calculations and faster enforcement action, where necessary.<\/p>

Where parents fail to fulfil their financial responsibilities towards their children we have a range of strong enforcement powers at our disposal. These powers include deducting maintenance directly from earnings, instructing bailiffs to collect arrears or seize goods, forcing the sale of property, disqualification from driving and commitment to prison.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4066", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Priti Patel"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Witham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Priti Patel"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-03-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-03-18T13:29:01.49Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-03-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Maintenance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that absent parents financially support their children.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4050", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gordon Henderson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sittingbourne and Sheppey"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gordon Henderson"} ], "uin" : "30635"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/459461", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/459461/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The 2011 Green Paper \u201cA state pension for the 21st century\u201d set out the Government\u2019s vision for a simpler state pension and proposed the new State Pension should start from April 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

The 2013 White Paper \u201cThe single-tier pension: a simple foundation for saving\u201d which set out proposals for the new State Pension in more detail proposed that it should be introduced in April 2017 at the earliest. However, having noted the positive responses to the White Paper, the Government looked again at whether it would be possible to introduce the reform earlier.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government decided to return to the original timetable to deliver the reform as soon as possible, to support the roll-out of automatic enrolment and provide certainty concerning the changes for both individuals and their pension schemes at the earliest opportunity. The decision to return to the original implementation date also meant that around 400,000 more people would reach State Pension age under the new State Pension, including every woman affected by State Pension age changes in the Pensions Act 2011.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-03-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-03-17T14:44:22.91Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-03-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "State Retirement Pensions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what factors he took into account when setting the new state pension age cut-off date.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4427", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ochil and South Perthshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh"} ], "uin" : "30391"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/458957", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/458957/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
